Last Totem Novel - Chapter 201
Chapter 201 Flames
Three days later …
After repeated consultations between Qin Ke’er and Mu Qian He, Bi Qinglan, and the members of the censorship team, the results of the censorship on the beast corps commander and the northern Black Knights corps commander’s death before the war finally came out.
The official announcement of the Academy is as follows:
[After an in-depth investigation by the CSUM review team, Alan Rudolph, the former commander of the Beast Corps, and McRowe, the former commander of the Black Knights of the North, were attacked by a swarm of bees and insects on their way to their respective missions. They fought bravely and sacrificed themselves in the interests of the human camp. In recognition of his noble spirit, the Academy Alliance will award the two silver medals.]
[In addition, during the battle in the Dark Jungle of Dr3712-11-26, the former leader of the Academy Detective, Sa Jia Jia Ji, was ordered to gather the remnants of the War Beast Legion, the Black Knights of the North, and the Fireworks Legion and temporarily form the Wolf Legion to resist the attack of the bee insects and obtain the final victory. In recognition of his outstanding service, the Academy Alliance will award the Silver Medal to Commander Sa Jia Qi.]
[It is hereby publicized that Alan Rudolph’s personal property in the Wolf Legion has been stripped of approximately 600 credits and McRowe’s personal property has been stripped of approximately 650 credits by the CSUM Review Group]
Facing such a result, Tie Zha was really depressed. Not only did he lose two silver medals, he also lost several hundred credits. Even a brand new Thunderfire mecha filled with weapons and ammunition costs only 60 credits, The most valuable items for Alan Rudolph and McRowe’s team were the eighty percent new Lightning Flame mecha and two sixty percent new Flamingo mecha. With more than fifty sets of individual equipment, they had less than 1,000 credits at full capacity. This was obviously Bi Qinglan’s trick.
However, now that the matter had come to this point, he admitted it. In any case, he didn’t need to bear any other charges. It could be considered spending money to dispel the calamity. Qin Ke’er, who was in charge of the negotiations, also analyzed to him that the Secretary-General did not intend to make things difficult for him, but to appease the families of the two Guild Leaders. To put it bluntly, he was giving them more benefits and dispelling their misgivings about “killing their lives for money”.
By the time Tie Zha finished paying 1,250 credits, this matter would have come to an end. After another day, Zhao Ziying and Zhao Zitao returned to the Bamboo Leaf. Their mission this time was surprisingly smooth. They didn’t spend much time and energy to buy two Holy Light Power Armors from the black market vendors in the nearby Dark Night Town. Moreover, the price was not expensive. One was intact and the other was damaged. It was only 9,000 gold. It could be said to be effortless.
Bi Qinglan looked at the two [Holy Light] power armors, the corner of his mouth slightly curled up. He then ordered the Bamboo Leaf to set sail and return to the Central Silver City Military Academy. She planned to find a traditional Evolver and use the Psionic Warrior Rifle to pierce through the two Holy Light power armors and frame Tie Zha. Before this, the reason why she did not make a fuss about the “murder of her classmates before the war” was because she had thought of a better way to use the Dawn Expeditionary Force to deal with Tie Zha.
However, she never expected that these two power armors were sold by Tie Zha …
It had to be said that she had accidentally struck the right balance in this matter, and Tie Zha was unlucky enough.
Not long after Bi Qinglan left, the merits of the Dark Jungle were distributed. The Dark Jungle Guards issued a post-war announcement. The werewolf army killed the Abyss Ant Queen and played a decisive role in the war. Later, General Richie allocated 2,000 credits to the guild and gave them an additional 30 Honor Points.
In the following period of time, the core of the Wolf Legion was busy. Some of them were dealing with financial expenses, some were repairing mecha, some were training reserve soldiers, and some were purchasing items and ammunition …
At noon that day, Tie Zha sat on the sofa in the resting area and flipped through the bill that Qin Ke’er had just sent him.

Looking at the little money left, Tie Zha couldn’t help but scratch his hair and feel a headache. As the troop grew stronger, the consumption of energy also increased steadily. Originally, he wanted to equip Wang Hu and the others with a psionic martial artist rifle, but now it seemed to be a bit difficult, unless he used more than 500 credits from Muyu Qinxin’s account. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to spend it. In any case, the latter did not lack this little money. Moreover, even if he didn’t spend this money, he wouldn’t be able to avoid being called “Little Black Face” by her, so he simply spent it.
After thinking it through, Tie Zha called Mu Qianhe and asked her to order five Psionic Warrior Rifles as soon as possible and then fly them over by air. Currently, apart from himself, there were six traditional evolutionaries in the Wolf Legion. They were Wang Hu, Porcupine, Tuoba San, Match, Marcus, and Jerome. However, he only ordered five because of limited funds and also because he was uneasy about Jerome who had just joined.
Wang Hu, Porcupine, Tuoba San, and Match did not need to doubt their character and loyalty. After observing for a while, Marcus was sincere and didn’t like to show off. He respected Vice Commander Wang Hu and was willing to rush to the front in battle. He was a trustworthy teammate. As for Jerome, although Tie Zha had appointed him as a staff officer, in reality, in such a small team, a staff officer was only a flashy position with little real power.
So far, he has a good impression of Jerome. This man from a farming family in the northern part of the Central Continent was kind and loyal to his former leader, Macro. However, it would take a long time for Tie Zha to develop a genuine sense of trust in him.
There was also Marvin, the vice captain of the Wolf Legion’s Mech Brigade. Although Tie Zhao had an ordinary impression of him, he was from the Far East. This was crucial. Currently, the core of the Wolf Legion was dominated by the Far East. Thus, the Far East people had a stronger sense of belonging to their guild than the people from other places.
However, he knew that such an architecture for the team was unhealthy. After all, it would be difficult for a team that only absorbed Far East people to have a bright future. The people of the Far East have the shortcomings of the people of the Far East, for example, they are different in appearance, like to argue, like to take advantage of small things, and so on. Of course, Wang Hu and the others didn’t have any of these problems. They were all carefully selected martial monks from the War Bear Temple. After years of training and nurturing, they possessed good qualities and were different from ordinary people from the Far East.
Most people in the Far East had these or those minor flaws, so he had to promote more people from the Western Continent, the Central Continent, and the Northern Wilderness to the core. However, doing so would create other problems. People in the west, central, and even the Northern Wilderness Continent might believe in the Temple and Notre Dame. If faith in Notre Dame was fine, they would be afraid of meeting people from the Temple of Faith.
All in all, as the team grows, more and more questions need to be considered, and all sorts of troubles will follow.
After much thought, Tie Zha decided that the Wolf Legion would be dominated by the Far East and Northern Desolates. As for the people from the Western Continent and the Central Continent, he only absorbed people from remote areas without faith. Under normal circumstances, these people had a very low sense of belonging to Silver City’s forces. If the guild changed directions in the future and worked hard to ignite the sacred flame, they might not be able to resist.
Cozan had once said that 29,512 heroes had sworn to all mankind with their blood and persistence that the Temple of Glory would remain unchanged.
“We are all sons and daughters of the earth. There is no distinction between us. We share the glory of our ancestors in the genetic chain.”
The heroes planted a flame in the hearts of the people at the bottom, leaving behind a sense of hope.
Tie Zha believed that there must be some people who believed in Glory among the commoners of the Wolf Legion. They had always been silent, but the fire in their hearts had not been extinguished. It was just that it was not time for them to take a stand.
This was what the glorious great prophet of the previous generation had predicted-a spark that would start a prairie fire.
Suddenly, he seemed to see the guardian standing in front of the sacred flame, playing the harmonica …
At this moment, Qin Ke’er and Mu Qian He arrived at the resting area and were about to report the latest situation to the Guild Leader. However, when they saw him immersed in his thoughts, both of them immediately chose to remain silent, sat down quietly, and stared at him without saying a word.
In Qin Ke’er’s eyes, this quiet young man became even more mysterious. From the honesty of the beginning to the tyranny of the central street; From an unambitious country bumpkin by the Egret Lake to a legion commander who echoed every word; From the Northern Wilderness visitors who grew up picking up garbage to the local tycoons who owned Star Stone Black/Card; From his usual calm expression to his deep gaze. Unknowingly, she was lost in his world. Her eyes reflected his young face. She wanted to know what he was thinking, his past, his present and his future.
There was no wine, but she was already drunk …
However, she was not the only one who was drunk. Mu Qianhe looked at the young man in front of him with mixed feelings. She had seen many men, but she had never seen such a thing. Call him wooden, but sometimes knowing and tactful; But he said he was affectionate, but he turned a blind eye to her temptation and ignored her courtship. She slept in his tent, but he ran out and sat in front of everyone, clearly wanting to draw a line with her. He was ruthless, but in order to protect her from being humiliated, even the Templar Knights dared to kill her.
Perhaps the phrase “everyone drinks themselves if they are not drunk” was about her current mood.
